Track Lyrics

Labor of Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smoke stack blowin', there's a fire in the sky
Fahrenheit risin' up, higher than high
Pressure's buildin' up, sparks are gonna fly
I know where this is goin' when I look into your eyes
I know where this is goin' when I look into your eyes
[Verse 2]
Sweet sweat's rollin' down the middle of your spine
Bodies move together, perfect rhythm and time
Baby say my name, I'll write yours in the sky
Higher than a rocket on the Fourth of July
Higher than a rocket on the Fourth of July
[Pre-Chorus]
It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job, the work's never done
24/7, it's a labor of love
Yeah, everything I got, it's all about us
Baby, this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
Baby, this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
[Verse 3]
Only fools count treasure in silver and gold
I don't want for nothin' that these hands can't hold
If you need somethin' done, put it on the list
And if I need some sugar, I'll get it from your lips
If I need some sugar, I'll get it from your lips
[Pre-Chorus]
It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job, the work's never done
24/7, it's a labor of love
Yeah, everything I got, it's all about us
Baby this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
Baby this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
[Instrumental Break]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
[Bridge]
Oh, the taste of your lips, every night, every day
I know every curve, but it's never the same
If love is a fire, I'd go down in those flames
I wanna die in your arms, hearin' you say my name
I wanna die in your arms, hearin' you say my name
I wanna die in your arms, hearin' you say my name
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job, the work's never done
24/7, it's a labor of love
Yeah, everything I got, it's all about us
Baby, this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
It's a full-time job, the work's never done
24/7, it's a labor of love
Give everything I got, I can't get enough
Baby this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
Baby this ain't workin', it's a labor of love
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Roller Coaster Lyrics

[Intro]
(Roller coaster)
[Verse 1]
I see you thinkin' twice
Wish I could read your mind
Move up or out of line
Too late for prayin', I
Know we might lose our breath
We might be scared to death
This chance is like a step
Just gotta take it
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Countdown to here we go-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Hold on tight, slide a little closer
Up so high stars are on our shoulders
Time flies by, don't close your eyes
Kiss by kiss, love is like a thrill ride
What goes up might take us upside down
Life ain't a merry-go-round
[Post-Chorus]
It's a roller coaster
It's a roller coaster
[Verse 2]
Can't lie and won't pretend
I know what's 'round the bend
Too late to start again
Won't take it slower
Let's slip right off these tracks
We'll fly or we might crash
Don't look down, don't look back
'Cause it ain't over
[Chorus]
Hold on tight, slide a little closer
Up so high stars are on our shoulders
Time flies by, don't close your eyes
Kiss by kiss, love is like a thrill ride
What goes up might take us upside down
Life ain't a merry-go-round
[Post-Chorus]
It's a roller coaster
It's a roller coaster
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Countdown to here we go-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
So hold on tight, slide a little closer
Up so high the stars are on our shoulders
It's a roller coaster
Kiss by kiss, love is like a thrill ride
What goes up might take us upside down
Life ain't a merry-go-round
[Post-Chorus]
It's a roller coaster
It's a roller coaster
[Outro]
Roller coaster
It's a roller coaster

The Devil’s in the Temple Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This was a church
A house full of prayer, it ain't that now
I could tear it down
There's thieves at the altar
A snake wears the crown, handin' you coal
Swearin' it's gold
[Chorus]
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
[Verse 2]
I'd turn things around
I would if I could, crash through the gates
Break every chain
Jail for the jailers
Sing freedom's song, amazing grace
Burn down this place
[Chorus]
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
[Instrumental Break]
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Look what they've done to this house of love
Look what they've done to this house of love
The devil's in the temple and he's making a mess
Got the Mona Lisa, got his hands up her dress
The gun is in his hand, but he ain't gonna confess
He lies
[Chorus]
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
Ah, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Oh, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Oh, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, yeah

Scars on This Guitar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another Friday night, I'm somewhere
A little drunk and worn out from the show
It's a hallway to a hotel room
The truck's already rollin' down the road
I find the lights, take off my coat
I see her there, just lyin' on the bed
She's seen me through my yesterdays
God knows, tonight, I'm needin' her again
[Chorus]
She's the place I go
When there's nowhere left to run to
She's the one I hold
When there's no one to hold on to
She's been with me late at night when I was drownin' in the dark
She heard my every word when I was pourin' out my heart
So I thank my lucky stars
For every crack, scratch, and scar on this guitar
[Verse 2]
She's given me her best when I am at my worst
When I can't find the pieces, fingers scratchin' in the dirt
And she offers no forgiveness 'cause she likes to make it hurt
[Chorus]
She's the place I go
When there's nowhere left to run to
She's the one I hold
When there's no one to hold on to
She's been with me late at night when I was drownin' in the dark
And she heard my every word when I was pourin' out my heart
So I thank my lucky stars
For every crack, scratch, and scar on this guitar
[Verse 3]
Mornin' like a freight train
Last night still ringin' in my head
Before today becomes tomorrow
Tonight, I know I'll do it all again
[Chorus]
She's the place I go
When there's nowhere left to run to
She's the one I hold
When there's no one to hold on to
She's been with me late at night when I was drownin' in the dark
And she heard my every word when I was pourin' out my heart
So I thank my lucky stars
For every crack, scratch, and scar on this guitar
[Outro]
And so I thank my lucky stars
For every crack, scratch, and scar on this guitar

Come On Up to Our House Lyrics

[Intro]
Come on up to our house
Let us make you feel at home
Come on up to our house
I will leave the porch light on
[Verse 1]
I wish tonight would last forever
And it would never end
We were introduced as strangers
Now we're leavin' here as friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word that you speak is a melody
As we're writin' the songs of our lives
Everyone knows we don't wannna go home
But we can't stay here tonight
[Chorus]
Come on up to our house
Let us make you feel at home
Come on up to our house
I will leave the porch light on
All are welcome at our table
You could never stay too long
Come on up to out house
I will leave the porch light on
[Verse 2]
You could tell me your life story
I could finish every line
The one about hurt and the heartache
It still gets me every time
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word that you speak is the harmony
To the song that I'm singing inside
Everyone knows we don't wanna go home
But we can't stay here tonight
[Chorus]
Come on up to our house
Let us make you feel at home
Come on up to our house
I will leave the porch light on
All are welcome at our table
You could never stay too long
Come on up to our house
I will leave the porch light on
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish the night could last forever
'Cause I ain't good at sayin' goodbye
Everyone knows we don't wanna go home
But we can't stay here tonight
[Chorus]
Come on up to our house
Let us make you feel at home
Come on up to our house
I will leave the porch light on
For the restless and the weary
You will never be alone
All are welcome at our table
You could never stay too long
So come on up to our house
I will leave the porch light on
[Outro]
(Come on up to our house)
(Let us make you feel at home)
Come on up to our house
(Come on up to our house)
(I will leave the porch light on)
Come on up to our house
(Come on up to our house)
(Let us make you feel at home)
Come on up to our house
(Come on up to our house)
